[Chimera-users] Contour plot of intersurf surface

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Miguel,
I can’t think of a way to generate a 2D representation from the intersurf surface.  It is unclear to me exactly what you mean, however.  What are the contours showing?  If the 3D shape, why not just show as 3D?

You may want to take a look at another program, MolSurfer, which generates 2D representations of hydrophobicity and electrostatic potential at an interface.  I never used it myself, but that is what the paper about this program (link below) shows.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
